Development on Windows environment ( new arrived )

Forum thread started by CodeVisio on Sun, 2012-09-09 03:40

Hi All,

I'm new here.
Actually all my stuff are on a Windows 7 (64bit) and I'm wondering if I can contribute to the Haiku development from that environment.

Thank you.

AFAICT It was possible several years ago, see http://maurice.kaldience.com/?p=77 (very outdated now)

What about,
downloading an Haiku image, installing it on a virtual machine and from there I can operate directly under Haiku ?

Sure, this will work too.

Or you can do it like me :) I'm only used windows before BeOS/Haiku.

I Have a partition with Haiku istalled on (or rather 2 and a data partition).
You cam also use Windows boot.ini to start Haiku. I used some 3party boot setup for Windows 7 (i'm on the wrong PC now)
